One example of an obstacle in my life is the transition of the high school classroom and the college lecture. College professors do not generally teach the same way that my teachers in high school did which creates a barrier in my learning process. Now, because of this I find myself not working harder to self-teach but instead to just rely on what I pick up in class and hope that I do well on the next exam. This is fixed mindset because instead of being persistent despite of the obstacles that stand in my way I give up. I will overcome this by reaching out to my teachers when I need help and taking initiative to keep moving
